Al-Ittihad Club vs Al-Kholood Club

Al Ittihad and Al Kholood played out a goalless draw in Round 31 of the Saudi Pro League in Jeddah. The standout moment came early when VAR reviewed a challenge by Awad Al-Nashri — officials opted against a red card, though he was booked just a minute later. With no goals, cards and stoppages defined the afternoon. John Buckley was cautioned for Al Kholood at 28', and Ahmed Sharahili followed at 36'. Ramiro Enrique was forced off early through injury, while Al Ittihad turned to Moussa Diaby and Muhannad Shanqeeti at the break — though neither could unlock the stubborn visiting defence. The point does little for either side. Al Ittihad remain sixth and need wins to keep alive any hope of an Asian competition place, while Al Kholood, stranded in 14th, must keep picking up points to stay out of trouble.
